Ryoma brushed a few strands of her silky hair behind her ears and allowed his fingers to lay there for a few moments, softly caressing her earlobe. They were so small and delicate, just like she was. The smirk on his face softened still and he had to give himself a few mental slaps across the face to prevent himself for treading dangerous waters. He was still mentally beating himself up for calling her by her real name and not her nickname. He already had his toes dipped into those dangerous tides, he couldn’t allow himself to get swept away – that would be giving his old man and Mizuki the satisfaction of knowing they were right. Of course, his old man being right bothered him more than the latter, but that still didn’t numb the feeling.
His eyes widened a bit when she spoke again. Forgive? Ryoma was more than a bit taken aback. He had never been asked for forgiveness before. How did one even do that? “I can forgive, but I cannot forget,” he said calmly making sure his voice was steady. “But, I suppose that is only another way of saying, I will not forgive.” He chucked a bit as his hand moved from her ear and back to her cheek. “Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future…” He allowed that thought to trail off for a moment before he closed whatever remaining gap there was between the two of them, pressing his lips softly to hers before turning the kiss a little more forceful.
MERLIN’S FUZZY SCARF! What was he doing? He gave himself another mental slap across the face. Wasn’t he supposed to be making her feel worse about what had happened and not better? Was he losing his touch or was he…nope…wasn’t even going to think about THAT notion.
Pulling away, but not removing his hand, Ryoma whispered – his lips still close enough to brush against hers as he spoke. “Was that what it was like? When you kissed him?”
